[ Schroedinger's barbacks will eat well; Gilgamesh has a dog to put through his paces. he reviews the numbers with his usual clinical efficiency--usually numbers like this are below his noticing, something he'd wave off to Yasuho to do what she would with them, but Lycaon's made it his problem
the King gave him a very specific set of instructions, and Gilgamesh is not usually pleased when such things are ignored--especially when it's small things like this. one can have some measure of freedom if we were, say, dithering with destroying goddesses or trying to stop the heat death of the universe, but in matters of timekeeping, his word was absolute. ]
The fact that cruise liners pride themselves on working people for razorthin margin wages while squeezing as much blood as possible out of their targets has nothing to do with me. They do not deserve to live if they cannot afford to properly compensate their talent; a King who does not properly award his vassals deserves the sword when it inevitably comes to him.
[ a strong stance on capitalism given that he's winning at it, but like. maybe that makes his opinion better than most people's? maybe? ]
Anyone can pour a drink with a bit of instruction. The thing to be awarded and paid for here is all of the extra work you did; that's why I said you would be compensated at minimum for four hours of your time, since I expected it would take more than that. I did come to a series of conclusions, given the first timeframe you quoted me.
